SPORTS INDUSTRY
Floating has been shown to loosen the muscles and give athletes a greater
degree of control over their nervous systems. This reduces the risk of injury
during training or competition. Even when injuries do occur, floating not only
accelerates the recovery process, but releases vast quantities of endorphins,
the body’s natural painkiller.
Modern training methods focus on helping the athlete to master the ‘inner
game’, to develop the perfect synchrony between mind, body and emotion
which is the hallmark of a champion. In the tank the athlete can attain the
level of concentration necessary for visualisation to have a quantifiable impact
on his or her performance. This is the hottest new development in sports
science.
The 3 leading American universities, Stanford, Yale and Harvard have all
conducted clinical trials, and results prove that 1 hour in the tank using the
visualisation system is superior to 10 hours of repetitive field practice.
Carl Lewis, arguably the greatest track athlete in history, used in-tank
visualisation extensively in his preparation for his gold medal-winning
performances at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. The Australian Institute of Sport has
been using the same process to train their Olympic squads since 1983.
